Prussian Train in Action

 

This drawing by Knötel shows the Prussian Train in action. The wagon is carrying a load of timber, a commodity for which there would be a great demand in the field, it being required for siege works, field defences, buildings, and bridges among other things. Supplying these and other needs would require a flexible organisation, with vehicles and personnel required to be available where and when necessary.
